The Zaxcom ZFR400 is a compact, body-worn audio recorder designed to deliver high-fidelity, timecoded recordings in virtually any environment. Built from a rugged nylon polymer with a sleek, rounded form, this ultra-light unit is both durable and unobtrusive-ideal for talent wearing it on set. Despite its tiny footprint, the ZFR400 packs a suite of advanced features like NeverClip and ZaxNet, making it a perfect solution for productions where RF transmission isn't practical or permitted.
Functioning either as a standalone recorder or part of Zaxcom's patented virtual multitrack system, the ZFR400 records pristine, timecoded audio directly to a microSD card. It offers 128 dB of dynamic range thanks to dual A-D converters, eliminating the need for limiting and ensuring distortion-free captures. ZaxNet compatibility enables remote timecode jamming, gain adjustments, and full transport control without physically accessing the unit. It also transmits quality control (QC) audio and timecode in real time-crucial for wireless monitoring on set.
Adding to its flexibility, the ZFR400 includes an audio/timecode output via its 3-pin LEMO connector, supporting simultaneous input and output operations. It operates for up to 10 hours on a single NP-50 battery, making it well-suited for long shooting days. With its combination of stealthy design, powerful performance, and full integration into the Zaxcom ecosystem, the ZFR400 is an essential tool for professional productions that demand reliability and sound excellence without compromise.
